No surprise bills – when the time runs out the calls stops working until the account is recharged by the host family or au pair. Makes budgeting for phone time easy.

Simple rate billing – just pay the per minute charge listed plus 10% surcharge – no other fees or taxes, and the account never expires if you make at least one call per year)

Online account management - sign in from anywhere in the world to see current account balance, real time call detail records, to set up pinless dialing, or to top off your card to add more talk time.

Note to host families - You may wish to open the account yourself and provide your au pair with instructions on how to use this low cost program to call home. Or if you prefer, have the au pair open the account and they can manage it themselves. If you are paying for the calls, ask for permission to log in from time to time to review call records and charges.
